Top tips for renting a car in New Hampshire

  • While there are some relatively large cities in the state of New Hampshire, such as Manchester and Concord, trying to find rental cars throughout the state can be a bit of a challenge. If you want to have a large selection of rental cars, it is better to rent in some of the larger cities. Another good option to make sure you have a good selection of cars is to rent at the airport, including Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). Another important thing to remember when renting a car in New Hampshire is that if you are renting during the winter, you want to make sure you carry appropriate tire chains for your vehicle to handle potentially snowy and icy roads.
  • The state of New Hampshire has specific laws relating to children traveling in rental cars. Any child that is less than two years old must travel in a rear-facing car seat. When children are between the ages of two and six, they can ride in the front-facing child seat. Once children reach the age of seven, they can ride in a booster seat up until they are 4 foot 9 inches tall. Once children are over seven years old or taller than 4 foot 9 inches, they can ride anywhere in the vehicle, although the state recommends that children ride in the rear of the vehicle until they are at least twelve years old.
  • Because New Hampshire is located so close to the Canadian border, many renters wonder if they can take their vehicles into Canada. Most rental car companies will allow you to take your vehicle into Canada but it is important to advise them ahead of time so that they can provide you with a non-resident insurance card for driving in Canada. Some rental car companies will even let you book one-week rentals to cities in Canada.
